Take Inventory of your Medication 

Prescription opioids can interact with other medications in dangerous ways.  A doctor can give you information about how your medications are interacting with each other.

Use this inventory form (PDF) to write down all of your medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, as well as vitamins and supplements.
